Pontypridd traffic management needed at Berw Road

Residents and visitors to #Pontypridd are reminded about the upcoming traffic management needed at Berw Road (August 17-21) as part of the demolition phase of the Pontypridd Police Station and Berw Road Car Park buildings.

The arrangements from tomorrow will likely bring traffic disruption at Berw Road and surrounding roads. Motorists are advised to avoid using this route if possible. The work is scheduled during the school holiday to minimise disruption as much as possible.

It includes temporary traffic lights on the Berw Road-Bridge Street junction, with a lane closure near the pharmacy and medical centre on Berw Road (10am on Monday, August 17, until the end of the day on Friday, August 21).

No road closure is needed, but a lane closure will be in place as shown in purple on the map: https://orlo.uk/qs27X

The traffic lights will be manually controlled at peak hours to ensure efficiency. Buses and large vehicles will be able to use all routes.

Please note, the work is being coordinated with the scheme to carry out localised repairs to Berw Road Bridge (White Bridge), that took place from August 10-14. The bridge works have been completed before the first Berw Road traffic management starts on August 17. White Bridge will always be open when there is traffic management in place affecting Berw Road.

This is the first of two anticipated periods of traffic management affecting Berw Road – the second is currently being arranged and will be announced in due course.

Thanks to residents and road users in advance for your patience and cooperation throughout the entire demolition phase, which is a significant milestone for the exciting future redevelopment of this strategic site.

Residents’ questions to the council on FB, but no replies

I have asked previously & not had a response. Will the cars be moved on Berw Hill in order to help traffic flow? Thanks,

I read on previous posts that there’ll be no left turn onto Berw Road from Gelliwasted Road. Is that correct

It’s just constant misery here trying to travel a relatively short distance.

Agreed. You can’t avoid the area when there’s only one road in & out. Would like some clarification on what exactly the council are doing to reduce the chaos.
